JCSU women's basketball has posted a 140-71 overall record in his six seasons on the bench.
JCSU women's basketball accomplished some great feats during the 2010-11 season. The team finished with the most wins (26) in an individual season in JCSU history. Two student-athletes recruited by Coach Enoch received conference accolades; junior transfer guard
LaQwesha Gamble was named All-CIAA and true freshman

J.C. Smith women's basketball captured the 2010-11 CIAA Southern Division regular season title and finished with the best overall record in the conference. Throughout the year, JCSU received rankings in the NCAA Division II Atlantic Region and ESPN/USA Today Women's Coaches Poll. JCSU entered the Atlantic Regional Tournament as the No. 2 seed (highest regional seeding in school history). The Lady Golden Bulls advanced to the championship game of the CIAA Tournament and the NCAA DII Atlantic Region Tournament.
